Our solution

Altran evaluated potential uses for the unused steam. This included both Power Augmentation (steam injection into new combustors) and installation of a second condensing steam turbine. The resulting analysis indicated that these projects will yield a 34% increase in MW output and a 13% improvement in heat rate.

Altran provided engineering, procurement and construction management for the new Siemens STG-600, SPX condenser and evaporative cooling tower, including integration of the STG controls with the Emerson DCS. The project was placed in service June 1, 2016 to support summer peak loading.
